IMAGINE for a second if David Dimbleby had been exposed as a Tory stooge just days before hosting the BBC’s apparently impartial election-night programme.

There would have been howls of outrage from Left-wing commentators, Labour and the Lib Dems would have cried foul and feckless Beeb management would have pulled him from the broadcast faster than Jon Snow could say: “F*** the Tories.”

So I’ll be curious to see the reaction to The Sun’s revelation today that Huw Edwards has shown himself to be a Labour-supporting liberal via his Twitter page — liking posts saying things such as: “Our NHS is on the table in this election. Vote Labour, please.”

My prediction is there will be a shameful wall of silence. Which means that on Thursday night, a preening wannabe Instagram model and aspiring boxer, who doesn’t believe in hiding his personal political views from the public, will deliver the results to millions on our publicly funded broadcaster.

Is it any wonder this election campaign has seen the Beeb hit by 25,000 complaints of bias . . . so far? And is it any wonder 64 per cent in a poll this week believe the corporation is biased?

It’s blatantly obvious Huw and his liberal gang of London media elite who occupy the vast majority of on-air roles at BBC News are Labour voters. But to get to the point where they feel so entitled they no longer hide their bias is a disgrace.

'ANTI-TORY BIAS'

I’m allowed to tell you in this newspaper that voting for Jeremy Corbyn would be the biggest mistake you could make for your future and this country’s prosperity.

But TV news broadcasters HAVE to provide impartial coverage. That’s the law, as ridiculous as it might be.

The BBC’s anti-Brexit, anti-Tory bias should now put its entire funding model under threat. There are countless examples throughout this campaign.

Andrew Marr’s ranting made up 43 per cent of his interview with Boris Johnson on Sunday, according to analysis from political blogger Guido Fawkes. You simply do not see Corbyn or Jo Swinson or Caroline Lucas put under that degree of pressure.

The BBC took a copyright action against the Tories for using footage of Laura Kuenssberg in an election ad when it’s never done the same thing to Labour.

Channel 4’s coverage has been even more woeful. Former Speaker John Bercow will deliver the channel’s Christmas speech, for goodness’ sake.

And the immediacy of Ofcom’s decision not to investigate their farcical ice sculpture stunt shows the regulator is part of the fix.

If he is elected next week, Boris must finally have the balls to privatise Channel 4 and rein in the BBC, selling off some of its commercial functions.

And when you’re watching Huw attempt to soberly present the results in the early hours of next Friday morning, it’s important you do so with some idea of what this man REALLY wants.

She Moss be mortal after all

Don’t get me wrong, she’s still stunning. But it’s a lesson that gravity gets to us all eventually – and proof that her unhealthy mantra “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” is unrealistic in the long term.

Although try telling that to the age-defying Naomi Campbell, who told me recently her secret is days not eating anything at all.

X Rebels the real threat

A WEEK ago we were reminded of the valiant bravery of our police forces, rushing into danger at London Bridge to neutralise yet another terrorist madman without a second thought for their personal safety.

It was the clearest indication in some time that the real life-or-death peril facing our country is the ongoing war on terror, nothing to do with plastic bags, carbon-belching flights or eating meat.

But just 48 hours after that attack, those same emergency forces were forced to deal yet again with Extinction Rebellion.

Without a second thought about the predicament facing the police in London, the extremist nutters went ahead with the launch of their so-called 12 Days Of Crisis.

This year, police in the capital have wasted £37million patrolling XR – twice the amount spent to reduce violent crime.

I’ve been saying for weeks that they are posing a genuine risk to our safety. The drain on police resources and funding is inexcusable.

Besides, stupid stunts like sticking themselves to the Liberal Democrats’ electric bus this week only make sane people angry and turn off potential supporters.

If these cretinous anarchists give two hoots about our future safety, they must call off their Christmas action and let the police focus on preventing further terrorism.
